Oil & Gas

Kentucky possesses a significant footprint in the Appalachian Basin, making the oil and gas industry a vital component of the Commonwealth’s energy economy. As energy markets fluctuate and regulatory scrutiny increases, both operators and landowners face complex legal challenges regarding mineral rights, production royalties, and infrastructure access.

Gartland Thacker DelCotto PLLC provides strategic counsel to lessors and lessees navigating the intricacies of oil and gas law. Our team is equipped to handle high-stakes litigation disputes and restructuring matters both in and out of the courtroom, ensuring that our clients’ property rights and financial interests are protected in an evolving energy landscape.

Our attorneys provide deep experience in several key areas of the industry, including:

  • Lease Litigation & Dispute Resolution – We represent clients in disputes involving lease validity, “habendum clause” issues, fights over infrastructure rights, and the right to extract and remove resources.
  • Royalty Calculation & Audits – We handle complex litigation regarding royalty payments, including disputes over post-production costs and “marketable product” doctrines.
  • Regulatory & PSC Compliance – Our Firm works with other professionals and the client team to assist in guidance on matters involving the Public Service Commission (PSC) and other state and federal regulatory bodies governing extraction and safety.
  • Midstream & Transportation – We advise on the legalities of interstate pipeline access, gathering agreements, and the transportation of natural gas and crude oil.
  • Distressed Energy Assets – We assist in the acquisition or divestiture of oil and gas assets in restructuring scenarios, including the treatment of leases in bankruptcy proceedings.
